Creating Embedded Wallets
During Signup (automatic)
By default, wallets are created automatically for users when they sign up for your application. All you have to do is check that the “Create on Sign up” toggle is turned on in the Embedded Wallet configuration page.
Before Signup (pre-generated)
Pre-generated wallets allow you to create a wallet for a user prior to their first interaction with your application using either an email, phone number or social identifier (i.e. Farcaster or Twitter).
Simply provide an identifier to our API and receive the new wallet address in the response. The user can receive funds and assets into their wallet!
Check out the createEmbeddedWallet API to see all the available identifier types.
Creating wallets on additional chains
For users with an existing embedded wallet on a single chain, you can create an embedded wallet on an additional chain using the createEmbeddedWalletAccount method exported from the useEmbeddedWallet
hook.
Custom Logic (manual)
If you do not want to create wallets for users automatically when they sign up, you can create wallets for users using custom logic, calling the createEmbeddedWallet
method from the useEmbeddedWallet
hook when you want to create a wallet for a user.
Create Embedded Wallet alongside Branded Wallet
Keep the “Create on Sign up” toggle in the Embedded Wallet configuration page toggled on, and then use the createEmbeddedWallet
method from the useEmbeddedWallet
hook to create a wallet for a user who has signed up using a branded wallet.
You can tell if you need to create that wallet post signup by checking userHasEmbeddedWallet
from the useEmbeddedWallet
hook.
Notes
Content Security Policy (CSP)
Embedded wallets use iframes to provide one more security layer to the wallet. If you enforce CSP on your website, you will need to add the following to your frame-src
directive:
- https://auth.turnkey.com - used for establishing sessions with one-time codes
- https://recovery.turnkey.com - used for creating a new passkey for an existing wallet
- https://export.turnkey.com - used for exporting a wallet’s private key or seed phrase
